Madyar stated that the enemy had copied the design of Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles
Robert Brovdi, commander of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ Unmanned Systems Forces and known by the call sign “Madyar,” reported on a large-scale reorganization within the aggressor country’s military.
He spoke about this in an interview with Ukrainska Pravda.
According to him, Russia is effectively copying the successful Ukrainian model of organizing UAV units, creating its own chain of command at the level of Deputy Chief of the General Staff.
The pace at which the enemy is increasing its personnel involved in unmanned operations is alarming.
As of May 1 of this year, the occupiers reported 114,000 personnel, indicating an increase of 28,000 people in just the last four months.
By the end of 2026, the Russian command plans to increase the unmanned component of its army to 168,000 personnel.
“Among other things, they are essentially copying the existing model of Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces,” Robert Brovdy emphasized during an interview.
He noted that although the enemy has its own experience, in most cases it attempts to steal ready-made Ukrainian solutions.
The creation of a centralized command will allow the enemy to accumulate significant budget funds and direct them toward the mass production of weapons.
As an example of the effectiveness of Russian state intervention, the commander cited the “Molniya” drone, the price of which the Russians artificially lowered to $1,500.
At the same time, the payload capacity of this drone was increased to 10 kilograms, which significantly heightened its danger on the battlefield.
“An average brigade on the front line catches up to 60 ‘Molniya’ drones a day. They’ve become cheap; the state regulated the price, placed a massive order, and put them into mass use,” added the SBS commander.
Previously, this drone was more expensive and had inferior technical specifications.
The occupiers plan to manufacture over 1.1 million of these cheap drones, which will lead to an even greater saturation of the front line with technical equipment.
Robert “Madyar” Brovdi, commander of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ Unmanned Systems Forces, stated that a symbolic strike on Red Square would attract the world’s attention, but militarily it is not the most effective option.
The Unmanned Systems Forces confirmed a second drone strike on Perm
